I think that as long as readers who have mixed in various two-dimensional mobile game circles, they should have seen the following "Kao Ge Anger, Nobunaga Laugh" meme:
"Don't confuse voice actors with characters!"
(Nobunaga Shimazaki and Takahiro Sakurai)
However, there is a person who is a lifelong enemy of Kaogo (no), her name is "Riki Tanaka", and she deeply implements the spirit of binding voice actors and characters together.
Recently, I saw that Aunt Tanaka was active, and I thought of finding an opportunity to talk about her, after all, she is also a childhood goddess for many people.
It is often said that "voice actors are monsters". I believe that even people who occasionally watch anime will always know one or two voice actor names, and sometimes wonder: Huh? Why is there such a big difference in the personality of these two characters, and it is actually the same person?
For the general audience, the voice line of the voice actor is really always a fan. Looking at the works of those long-established female voice actors, you can often encounter the situation of Lori on the front foot and the royal sister on the back foot.
Engaged in voice actors for 23 years, Tanaka's aunt has played a role that is not small, from a cute sister to a mature girl, and everyone who is eager to find the ideal hometown in the second dimension cannot escape her voice.
(On the introduction page of Aunt Tanaka's office, multi-voice switching is also considered the basic skill of voice actors)
When I was an ignorant teenager, I was under the impression that Riki Tanaka was a cute girl, whether it was Lax in "Gundam SEED" (not LOL), or the little twitter in "Humanoid Computer Angel Heart", they were all girls who were very gentle on the outside.
She is generally responsible for female characters in her teens and thirties, often playing some low-pitched, magnetic big sister figures, but in some cases, she plays a role with a fairly high voice.
When I first learned that neptune's heroine Nep CV was Riki Tanaka, I was surprised that such a energetic Lori character was also matched by her.
Later, the rapid development of two-dimensional mobile games (especially in China), the surge in demand for Japanese dubbing, gave some long-established female voice actors who have retreated to the second line many business opportunities.
FGO's Killing House, Crash 3's Himeko, Hara's Lisa...
(Renwang Ri's Nonghime is also Riki Tanaka, simply Tanaka Riki Benkei)
Looking at the CV table, an impressive mature big sister, you can always find the familiar name behind them, and sigh: Oh, it turns out that she is also Rie Tanaka.
There are still many people in Japan called "Riki Tanaka".
There is a retired gymnast also called Riki Tanaka, and in terms of national popularity, he is even more famous than the voice actor Riki Tanaka.

Many anime Staff lists also appear — sound production: Riki Tanaka, often mistaken for a part-time job (voice actor), is actually two people who have nothing to do with each other.
There is also a piano player Rie Tanaka... Because these were often confused, it was later called "Tanaka Ritsu four heavenly kings".
(Neta scene in the anime White Box)
It is often possible to see voice actors talking about the ecology of the industry (mainly negative) on push. In fact, the retirement rate of voice actors in Japan is still quite high, and there are very few people who can eat purely by dubbing, and even fewer people like Riki Tanaka who can still be active in the industry in her 40s are even fewer.
There are many reasons for this, and the low remuneration of voice actors is one thing.
At present, most of the Japanese voice actors are uniformly managed by the voice actor office that joined the "Japanese Haiyou Lianhe", and basically each voice actor has his own "dubbing level".
(Although it is 5 or 6 years ago, it has not changed.)
Every year, according to the time of employment and popularity, it will be adjusted from 15 to the upper level (basic 45 levels to the end), the level ×1000 = the basic salary of the voice actor.
Taking a 30-minute episode as the standard, the newcomer is almost 15,000 yen per episode, and the first line is 45,000 yen per episode, and the office share and tax are deducted, and the amount of money is even less.
You know, students in Japan have a better part-time job, 7,8000 yen a day. Voice actors earn very little, and it is very difficult to support their families in Japan based on the little remuneration for dubbing animations.
Therefore, now there is a trend of idolization in the year - first by dubbing animation works to become famous, and then through the launch of record CDs, radio dramas, offline activities and other channels to earn "extra money".
(The CD of a Nikkei magazine is divided into compositional diagrams, which are slightly translated here.) ）
Large-scale projects such as idol masters and Bang Bang now have many opportunities for concerts in offline events, and once they hold their thighs, they are equivalent to getting long-term meal tickets.
Incidentally, similar to the character planning CD, because it is in the name of the anime character, the voice actor singer does not have a stamp duty share, which is a one-time transaction, all depending on how much remuneration is paid when signing the contract.

Far away, far away. In the era when Aunt Tanaka was active, the voice actor industry was not particularly face-catching.
Due to business changes, she changed the firm several times, and in about 2008, she moved to the リトリート firm and began to launch some visual derivatives.
(Poster for photo album release in 2013)
For example, photo albums, calendar hanging pictures, postcards, etc., including swimsuits that show beautiful flesh and Cosplay for their own characters. Even now, there are very few voice actors who can link up with their own characters.
The beautiful skin bag is eye-catching, and the aunt did have a certain amount of money when she was young, which is completely in line with the image of a goddess in the mind of an otaku (of course, now too).
Of course, you don't have to look at the voice actor's surface, in fact, the competition behind it is fierce.
Vocational education in Japan is very popular, and there are many local voice actors colleges, animation or vocal music colleges.
Riki Tanaka moved to Tokyo after graduating from high school and entered the voice actor class of Yoyogi Animation Academy. Every year, thousands of similar vocational high school graduates enter the society, mostly looking for job opportunities in the Japanese metropolitan area.

——Although it provides a rich talent pool for the Japanese dubbing industry, it also leads to a very strong in-line industry. Especially female voice actresses, the speed of replacement is extremely fast, and it is good to have 5 years of playing period.
In particular, japanese society traditionally discriminates against women's employment, full-time wives are the trend of the times, and when they reach an age, voice actors will basically choose "ordinary members" with stable incomes as marriage objects.
After Riki Tanaka married Hiroichi Yamadera in 2012, who is also a voice actress, there have been few new animated characters.
In particular, in June 2013, the "Super Dimensional Game Neptune" animation was released, and there was an attack by a fan of idiots.
The news said that a man armed with a sharp blade of about a dozen centimeters attacked, causing Tanaka himself to fall down the stairs during the escape, slightly injured in the knee, and suffered a lot of mental blows.

For the next few years, I played games at home every day, cos, and sunbathed cats, and began to touch fish.
See Riki Tanaka starting from the 2.0 version of Final Fantasy XIV, fighting on the front line of the dungeon wasteland, updating the social software with new achievements in various games.

This state of affairs continued until 2018, the end of a 6-year marriage with Koichi Yamaji.
When the two divorced, there was a big news, and Riki Tanaka (a gymnast) also came forward to explain, "It's not me, don't be confused." ”
"Water Certificate" is still in my playlist, 40-year-old Tanaka old aunt since divorced, but began to get more and more waves, and even intensified, the fourth full-color photo album has been engaged.
Everyone said that she was the pillar force of the killing house, and the unborn female bodhisattva always tied her to the "flying self".
Every time FGO has a new event, it wears the same clothes on the card surface to broadcast the lottery, place the same pose in front of the camera, and personally bring the goods.
I have to say that this kind of voice actor live broadcast interaction with the characters they dubbed is still interesting, and the live broadcast effect is full.

At Christmas, you will also live stream special songs at YouTube to sing nostalgic songs
--Incidentally, this black silk low-cut red Xu Jinjiang suit, in exchange for the domestic live broadcast platform, is absolutely the danger of being warned by the super tube.
There are strange rumors (jokes) on the Internet that Koichi Yamadera divorced to save his life.
"It's all said you don't always associate voice actors with characters", what? I am personally playing with the terrier, this kind of exciting existence please come a little more.
